The Rambling Rose is on the road again!!

We woke up at 6:00am with the Denver Broncos on our mind. Say what?

Our plans included starting our 2013/2014 winter season today for two reasons:

~First, according to the weather forecasters, old man winter is suppose to pay Loveland a visit on Monday or Tuesday. They are predicting cold temperatures and snow. Time to leave!

~Second, we were just not ready to leave on Saturday.

We wanted to leave Loveland prior to this Canadian Winter Storm hitting our area, so departure day was today. We knew a Broncos game would begin, in Denver, around 2:00pm and we didn’t want to get caught up in the traffic it would generate. So we had no choice, get up early and travel through Denver beating the traffic.

Up at six (way too early for us) and on our way after running through hooking up the tow car, which we hadn’t done since April. Plus, checking all other items like tire pressure, lights, brakes, CB radio and the list goes on. Check, re-check! Routine kicked in and everything was completed with no problems. So off we went

We breezed through Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, thank goodness for Sunday mornings and people sleeping late. Traffic was minimal.

It is a convenient and pleasant place to spend our first night on the road. Stopping here for one night gives us a chance to relax a bit after a hectic time of getting ready to leave home for six months.

We pulled into the KOA around noon, ate a nice lunch, took a few walks with the doggies, rearranged some things in the coach and just enjoyed the day.

Hi Gay!! I am excited about following your adventures as well! Now that we are on the road, I will have time to visit my blogging friends on a regular basis!! I am thrilled that you will share in our journey, it sure makes it fun!! Hope you and crew are having fun!

Glad you are still with me, I feel like I have ignored everyone for a week or more- sorry! Funny how one misses blogging and the friends on here! Thanks for your comments! I hope you are having fun filled days!

Hey Ingrid! I don’t even know if they won!! How are things in AZ? I will get out to your site and see what adventures you are having! Glad we are on the road and can now enjoy ourselves. I can now keep up with all my friends out here in blog land!

I am sitting here in the co-pilot seat and typing on my iPad, which is connected to our Verizon Jetpak. Amazing and fun!!? It is a beautiful Colorado day!!

Its rare that Colorado isn’t beautiful. Broncos won by a landslide. Loving the AZ weather and looking forward to the ocean come Jan in Rockport TX. Safe travels and it’ll be fun for me to follow your journey. Might just have to take notes 🙂

Enjoying retirement: On The Road & At Home

Be happy, enjoy life!

I have a passion for the outdoors and I am most happy enjoying what nature has to offer. Hobbies include photography, birding, Pickleball, astronomy, biking and hiking. I have been happily married, for 40 years, to an amazing person and we share our love with two smart, beautiful and wonderful doggies.
